Abstract

Purpose : We have done this retrospective study to know the relative incidence and clinical manifestations of organic acidopathies in Korea during 8 years(from Jul. 1997 to May 2005). This results of organic acid analysis of 1,787 patients were compared with the results of organic acid analysis that were published three years ago. Methods : The results of quantitative organic acid analysis of samples of 1788 patients, referred from Jul. 1997 to May 2005, were analyzed retrospectively according to four age group(-2 mon, 3 mon-2 years, 3-12 years) and major clinical manifestations. Quantification of 83 organic acids was done with gas chromatography and mass spectometry. Results : We diagnosed 470 patients with 27 diseases of organic acid metabolism during this study period. Diseases found more than 10 cases are cytosolic 3-ketothiolase deficiency, mitochondrial respiratory chain disorders, PDHC deficiency, mitochondrial 3-ketothiolase deficiency, glutaric aciduria type II, biotinidase deficiency, methylmalonic aciduria and propionic aciduria. Other diseases were diagnosed in less than 10 cases. Conclusion : Though the incidence of individual organic acidemia is low, the overall incidence of organic acidemia as a whole seems to be relatively high in Korea. Compared with the results of organic acid analysis that were reported three years ago, we couldn't find a new disease and the difference of the relative incidences of high incident diseases. We were apprehensive of the errors that was owing to the short study period(3 years), but the relative incidences of our study(8 years) were similar to the results of organic acid analysis that were reported three years ago.

목 적 : 국내의 유기산 대사 이상 질환들의 상대적 발병 빈도와 임상양상을 알아보기 위하여 유기산 정량 분석이 가능하여진 1997년 7월부터 2005년 5월까지 8년간 전국에 있는 대학병원에서 의뢰된 1,787명의 환자의 검체를 분석한 결과를 3년 전 발표한 연구결과와 비교하여 정리하였다. 방 법 : 1997년 7월 1일부터 2005년 5월 31일까지 약 8년 동안 본원 임상유전학연구실로 분석이 의뢰되었던 1,787명 환자의 검체들의 분석결과를 신생아기(생후 2개월까지), 영아기(2개월 이후 2세까지), 유소아기(2세 이후 12 세까지) 및 청소년기 이후(12세 이후)로 분류하였고, 환자들의 주요증상 및 소견을 분류하였다. 유기산 분석은 83종의 유기산을 gas chromatography와 mass spectrometry를 이용하여 정량 분석하였으며, 특징적인 양상으로 진단하였다. 결 과 : 총 28가지 질환 470명의 환자를 이 기간 동안에 진단할 수 있었으며, 가장 빈도가 높았던 질환들은 cytosolic 3-ketothiolase 결핍증, 사립체의 호흡 연쇄 효소의 이상 질환군(mitochondrial respiratory chain disorders), PDHC 결핍증, mitochondrial 3-ketothiolase 결핍증, glutaric aciduria type II biotinidase 결핍증, 메틸말론산뇨증(methylmalonic aciduria), 프로피온산뇨증(propionic aciduria) 등이었다. 결 론 : 유기산 대사 장애 질환들은 각각의 발병 빈도는 낮으나 국내에서도 다양한 질환들이 발병되고 있으며, 이들 질환들은 대부분의 경우 신경학적 이상 소견을 보이고 있으므로 신경학적 이상 소견을 보이는 경우는 감별진단에 포함시켜야 된다. 3년전 Choi 등이 발표한 연구결과와 비교하여 새로운 질환의 출현은 없었고 빈도가 높은 질환의 발병빈도의 차이도 보이지 않았다. 3년 전의 연구당시 짧은 연구기간으로 인한 오차의 가능성을 염려하였으나 8년 동안의 긴 연구기간 동안 비슷한 상대적 발병빈도를 보여 이러한 질환들이 우리나라에서 다수 발병되는 것으로 판단되며 주의가 필요하다고 판단된다.
